1. UC-1157-08 RICH, JOE: TAB Approved: with conditions
1.
One year review.
2.
Five horses permitted. As
horses depart the property, they may not be replaced until there are 5 or fewer horses.
USE PERMITS for the
following:
1) increase the
number of horses permitted;
2) eliminate the
required landscaping;
3) eliminate the
setback for a horse corral; and
4) reduce the
pasture area
on 1.1 acres in
an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located
on the west side of Penny Lane, 150 feet north of Le Baron Avenue within
Enterprise.
This
application was opposed by a resident directly to the west of this property. The complaint was flies and the smell from the
horses. The horse stable area is
concentrated along the western property line.
The horses are owned by a tenant on the property. Both the property owner and the horse owner
agreed to try different sanitation methods and not replace horses as they
depart the property. The TAB added a one
year review to check on the progress of the sanitation efforts. PC consent agenda

2. WS-1088-08
COUNTY OF CLARK (AVIATION), ET AL: TAB
Approved with condition
1. The
wall 200 ft north of the southwest corner to be 12 ft high with decorative iron
above 12 ft.
HOLDOVER
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to
increase perimeter wall heights in conjunction with an existing business and
data support services facility within a distribution center on 17.3 acres in an
M-D (Designed Manufacturing) Zone in the CMA Design Overlay District. Generally located at the northwest corner of Decatur
Boulevard (alignment) and the Union Pacific Railroad within Enterprise.
The applicant wants the increased wall
height for additional security. The TAB
had concerns about 18 ft high wall from an engineering and aesthetic point of
view. The TAB felt the additional wall
height may discourage some businesses from developing the adjacent property.
The properties to
the south and west are not developed. The
applicant has engineering plans for additional footer construction to support
the additional wall height. The decorative iron above 12 ft would provide
the security sought and present a better visual effect. PC consent agenda Item # 11

DESIGN REVIEW for a cemetery
and accessory uses on 20.0 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone. Generally located
on the south side of Warm Springs Road, the north side of Eldorado Lane, and
the east side of Buffalo Drive within Enterprise.
This
was the most contentious item of the night.
There was strong resident opposition to using the property as a cemetery. There were no residents in favor of this
plan. The arguments against applications
were the residents felt their property values would be degraded more by a cemetery
than a business complex. The design of
the chapel was too high and bulky. Finally, some residents did not like the
idea of living next to a cemetery.
During the discussion, the residents stated they thought a commercial
center was a better property use. The
TAB questioned this view. The residents
stated that convenience store, gas station, car wash, tavern and other C-2 uses
were acceptable alternatives. The question
is what would the resident opposition be if these uses were proposed on this
property.
One
TAB member felt strongly that the previous approval of C-2 zoning was based upon
a commercial center and the current proposed use was too drastic of a change
from the project which created the zoning.
The
other TAB concern was removing the Waiver of Conditions (ZC-1721-05 and
ZC-0314-05, December 05) restricting
the building height to 35 ft. It was
confirmed by the staff member present that this waiver would remove the
restriction from the original zone change.
If this project is approved and
then not built, the next project could go to 50 ft if the Waiver of Conditions
is approved as stated. The TAB
recommended the 35 ft restriction be kept in place and if necessary grant the additional
chapel height for this application only. BCC morning consent agenda item # 25

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify
approximately 207.0 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (AE-60) (AE-65)
Zone to R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (AE-60) (AE-65) (RNP-I) Zone to

Comments
from Spring Valley:
The
time has arrived for us to see our long effort to establish an RNP Overlay in
the area south of Russell and East of Jones. It is VERY important that as many
people as possible attend as this effort has been long and difficult and is
still opposed by the Planning Staff. They do not like the plan as it might make
it more difficult or impossible for them to plan large dense developments in or
directly abutting this established rural neighborhood. We, of course are
focused on protecting the interests of those who live here now, have invested
now and are committed now, not some group of assumed future residents in need
of apartments, condos and another shopping center. We have reason to believe we
have support of the majority of the County Commissioners, but the continuing
efforts by Planning Staff to organize opposition is worrisome. For example,
they have accrued requests from several parcel OWNERS (not residents) to be
removed from this RNP. We must demonstrate our support for each other and the
tradition of preserving so-called rural neighborhoods like this by limiting
development to two houses per acre.

37. UC-1095-08 CIMINO, PIETRO: TAB approved Use Permits 1,2, and 4. TAB denied Use permit 3: Per staff conditions
APPEAL
USE PERMITS for the following:
1) cumulative
area of all accessory structures exceeding the footprint of the principal
structure;
2) an
accessory structure larger than half the building footprint of the principal
structure;
3) an
accessory structure not architecturally compatible with the principal
structure; and
4) allow
alternative roof pitch
on 1.3
acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the
east side of Placid Street, 300 feet south of Eldorado Lane within
Enterprise. SS/kk/dr
The
neighborhood was well represented and had several objections to how the owner
maintained his property. The neighbors
wanted to insure the new building would blend into the area. They also wanted the property cleaned
up. Their complaints included a chain
link fence not removed after block wall construction, several RVs parked on the
property and a continuous garage sale with junk in the front yard.
The TAB felt this type of structure is
appropriate for the area. Use Permit # 3
was denied to insure the structure is compatible with the surrounding
area. Several of the items brought up by
the neighbors could be code violations and would need to be handled by public
response.

Text Amendment application, direct staff not to accept any mixed-use
applications or pre-applications related to these properties and direct staff
accordingly.
BACKGROUND:
Creel
Printing and Publishing, Inc. (Applicant) a property owner of land north of
Sunset Road, requests that the Board considers a request for acceptance of a Mixed-Use Text Amendment
application to remove the MUD-3 designation from the properties bound by Jones
Boulevard, 215 Beltway, Rainbow Boulevard and Sunset Road in Commission
District G. The properties are located within Commissioner Reid's District and
since the Commissioner has a conflict of interest with the applicant, the matter has been brought before
the Board for consideration of acceptance of a Mixed-Use Text Amendment
application based on Title 30 requirements (Section 30.16.050).
A Mixed-Use Text Amendment pre-application
(MUDTA-0007-07) to change the current designation from MUD-3 to MUD-2 has been filled and a conference was conducted on
February 7, 2007 for parcels 176-02-501-001 thru 006 and 010
thru 016. However, no subsequent Text
Amendment application was filled thus the pre-application has expired.
Staff recommends that the Board directs staff not to accept any mixed-use applications or pre-applications related to these properties until a final decision is rendered in this matter or instructed otherwise
That the Board of County Commissioners introduce an ordinance to consider adoption of a Standard Development Agreement with Durango Warm Springs, LLC for a commercial development (Desert Marketplace II).
